Sleep is integral to our health as well as our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. So when we experience difficulty with our sleep we feel the impact throughout our days. There are many causes for sleep issues including anxiety, physiological issues, PTSD, hormonal imbalance, and so many more. With the complexity and importance of this topic, we could use an expert to help us out. A good friend of mine and previous co-worker, Paul Bright, is a Certified Sleep Science Coach who has made it the focus of his work to help guide those who are lost in the sleep disorder maze. On this episode, Paul and I enjoy catching up and exploring some root causes of sleep struggles, what good sleep hygiene is, and why sleep has the ultimate ROI. As a leadership coach, Paul also offers ideas about the most important qualities of a leader and how even the busiest of business leaders can still prioritize sleep.
